Early Mormon Settlement
Hyde Park was a small farming community just west of here, founded in 1847 by Mormon pioneers. It was named for Orson Hyde, an Apostle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints who took up residence here when he returned that spring from a Church mission in England.HM Number | HM1RP9 |

I Saw The Marker
The Stake Partiarch took us out there to visit the site. He told us the history of the Marker and the Non Member who paid for the marker. It was well done. My family Allred had a rope business near this site.
Happy to comment. I will send a picture when I find it among my 2000 picstures!

It would be interesting to quote the brethren who received a revelation from the Lord concerning the appointment of Brigham Young to be President of the Church! You can find the reference in the book, Succession in the Church edited by Reed C. Durham and Stseven H. Heath. See page: 59-61
Let me know when you can make this entry.
